  Pastoral Epistles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three Pastoral Epistles are books of the canonic New Testament: the First Epistle to Timothy (1 Timothy) the Second Epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy), and the Epistle to Titus.
Timothy and Titus are likewise cautioned against the same prevailing corruptions, and in particular against the same misdirection of their cares and studies.
In the First Epistle to Timothy, for example, the task of preserving the tradition is entrusted to ordained presbyters; the clear sense of presbuteros as an indication of an office, is a sense that to these scholars seems alien to Paul and the apostolic generation.

 Timothy - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
The laying on of hands by the presbyters (1 Timothy 4:14), and that by Paul (2 Timothy 1:6), are not mutually exclusive, especially since the former is mentioned merely as an accompanying circumstance of his endowment with special grace, the latter as the efficient cause of this endowment.
Timothy and Silas discharged this duty and returned to the apostle, bringing him tidings of the faith of the Christians in Thessalonica, of their love and of their kind remembrance of Paul, and of their ardent desire to see him; and Paul was comforted (1 Thessalonians 3:5,6,7).
Timothy was acting as a temporary representative of Paul in his apostolic capacity at Ephesus, as he had done earlier in Corinth, and in Thessalonica and Philippi (1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Thessalonians 3:2; Philippians 2:19-23).

Edgar Goodspeed: The Epistles to Timothy and Titus
2 Timothy is one of the three epistles known collectively as the pastorals (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus).
The actual task of Timothy and Titus consists rather in preserving the correct teaching which they received from Paul and passing it on to their pupils (I Tim 1:11; 6:20; II Tim 1:14; 2:2).

He told Timothy to stir up the Holy Spirit in his life and bear his "share of the hardship which the gospel entails" (1:8).
Rather, Timothy was called to gently correct those who contradicted him, "in the hope always that God will enable them to repent and know the truth" (2:25).
Paul told Timothy to remain "steady and self-possessed; put up with hardship," perform his work as an evangelist, and fulfill his ministry (4:5), for "a merited crown" awaited him (4:8).

 2 TIMOTHY, NRSV NEW TESTAMENT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The theme of 2 Timothy is announced in 1.8: that Timothy and all who follow him should not be ashamed of the gospel or its representative, Paul, but should stand in fidelity to them, even to the point of suffering similarly.
Timothy is urged to suffer for the gospel through contemplating the positive example of Paul (1.8-14) and the negative one afforded by those who deserted Paul in time of need (1.15-18).
The exhortation to Timothy to be strong and teach others rightly (2.1-13) is contrasted with false teachers who must be contended with (2.14-26), for, as expected at the end time, signs of their appearance are already here (3.1-9).

(2) Another admonition: that the ministry of the word is a spiritual warfare, which no man can so travail in that he pleases his captain, unless he abstains from and parts with all hindrances which might draw him away from it.
(2) We must not tarry with those men who resist the truth not from simple ignorance, but from a perverse mind, (which thing appears by their fruits which he graphically displays here); rather, we must turn away from them.
(2) Faithful pastors in times past took all occasions they could, because men were very prompt and ready to return to their fables.

 USCCB - NAB - 2timothy - Introduction
The tone here is more personal than in First Timothy, for this letter addresses Timothy in vivid terms (2 Tim 1:6-14; 2:1-13) and depicts Paul's courage and hope in the face of discouragements late in the course of his apostolic ministry (2 Tim 1:15-18; 3:10-17; 4:9-18).
Paul is portrayed as a prisoner (2 Tim 1:8, 16; 2:9) in Rome (2 Tim 1:17), and there is a hint that Timothy may be in Ephesus (2 Tim 2:17).
This letter, like the preceding one, urges Timothy to protect the community from the inevitable impact of false teaching (2 Tim 2:14-3:9), without fear of the personal attacks that may result (2 Tim 3:10-13).

 An Exposition of 1 Timothy 2:4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
At the heart of the universalistic understanding of 1 Timothy 2:4 is a misconception concerning the meaning of the word "all" in the passage.
We thus conclude that it is the "universal" interpretation that is strained and unsuitable to the context of the passage.
The Arminian position cites 1 Timothy 2:4 as a cliché—a proof-text divorced from its Biblical and linguistic context—that packs a lot of emotional appeal to those who love to think that God's sovereignty is a mere fiction, and that man's "free-will" is all-important.

 USCCB - NAB - 2 Timothy 4
[1-5] The gravity of the obligation incumbent on Timothy to preach the word can be gauged from the solemn adjuration: in the presence of God, and of Christ coming as universal judge, and by his appearance and his kingly power (2 Tim 4:1).
The crown is a reference to the laurel wreath placed on the heads of victorious athletes and conquerors in war; cf 2 Tim 2:5; 1 Cor 9:25.
Despite Paul's abandonment by his friends in the province of Asia (cf 2 Tim 1:15-16), the divine assistance brought this first trial to a successful issue, even to the point of making the gospel message known to those who participated in or witnessed the trial (2 Tim 4:16-17).

2 Timothy was written in the fall of A.D.67 at the end of his life during his 2nd Roman imprisonment.

Timothy evidently was in Ephesus at the time of this letter (see 2 Tim 1:18; 4:19) and on his way to Rome he would go through Troas (2 Tim 4:13) and Macedonia.
